This stress may reduce grass control in "rescue" situations. • Ear malformation: Applications of HELM Nicosulfuron 75 on com that has 7 to 10 collars (V7 to V10) increases the potential for ear malformation (pinching). This risk may be greatly reduced, but not eliminated, by using drop nozzles properly adjusted so as to not apply HELM Nicosulfuron 75 intothe corn 'Nhorf. 

# RATE Optimum control of the weeds listed can be achieved with 213 oz.

### 1/3
- 2/3 oz. for limited control ofcertain small grass weeds. See Table 2, under the section ADDITIONAL RECOMMENDATiONS for detaifs. As weeds mature, their sensitivityto HELM NICOSULFURON 75 decreases. As grassy weeds become mature (more than 

### 3 tillers), they may not reach the size listed below, due to drought or other environmental factors. Grassy weeds that are maturing rapidly should be treated before they reach the stages fisted below. When applied as directed, HELM NICoSULFURON 75 wirr control the follOwing weeds: Table

HELM NICOSULFURON 75 may be broadcast or applied with drop nozzles to popcorn orfield corn grown for seed that is less than 20" tall (free-standing) orthat exhibits up to and including 5 leaf-collars (V5), whichever is most restrictive. 

### Do not apply 

### to corn that is tal/er than 20" or that exhibits more than 5 leaf-collars (V5), whichever is more restrictive. Many seed companies have tested seed com 'rnbreds or yellow popcorn hybrids for sensitivity to HELM N1COSULFURON 75 and have reported excellent safety. Do not apply HELM NICOSULFURON 75 to any white popcorn inbred, orwhite popcorn hybrid unless specifically approved by the seed company. This includes 'White Dynamite" pOpCOrn. HELM NICOSULFURON 75 may be appfied to certain sweet com hybrids grown forfresh markets or under contract for processing. Applications of HELM NICOSULFURON 75 may be applied broadcast orwith drop nozzles**(post~directed)** on sweet com up to t2 inches tall or up to and including 

### 5 leaf-col/ars (V5). Forsweet corn t2- t8 inches tall, apply onlywith drop nozzles. 

### Do notapply to sweet com taller than t8 inches or thosewhich exhibit

### 6 or more**leaf~collars** (V6), and make only one application of HELM NICOSULFURON 75 per year. SWeet com hybrid sensitivity to HELM N1COSULFURON 75 is highly variable, and not all hybrids have been tested for crop tolerance. Not alJ seed corn inbreds, popcorn, or sweet corn hybrids have been tested, nor does Sharda USA have accessto all seed company data. Consequently, Sharda USA is not responsible for any crop injury arising from the use of HELM Nicosulfuron 75 on field com grown for seed, popcorn, or sweet com. When tank mixing, check the tank mix partner label fortolerances and instructions for use. See SOIL INSECTICIDE INTERACTION INFORMATION regarding the use of HELM Nicosulfuron 75 on popcorn, sweet corn orfield corn grown for seed that has been previously treated with a soil insecticide. 

### SPRAY ADJUVANTS Applications of HELM Nicosulfuron 75 must include either a crop oil concentrate or a nonionic surfactant. In addition, an ammonium nitrOgen fertilizer must be used unless specifically prohibited by tank mix partner labeling. Crop oil concentrate plus ammonium nitrogen fertilizer is the preferred adjuvantsystem for activity on difficult 

### to control species such as woolly cupgrass, quackgrass, sandburand wirestern muhly. Ifanother herbicide is tank mixed with HELM Nicosulfuron 75, select adjuvants authorized for use with both products. Products must contain only**EPA~exempt** ingredients (40 CFR 1001). 

### Crop Oil Concentrate (COC)
- 

### Petroleum orModified Seed 

### Oil (MSOJ • Apply at 1% v/v (1 gallon per 100 gallons spray solution) or 2% under arid conditions. • MSO adjuvants may be used at 0.5% 

### v/v (0.5 gallons per 

### toO gallons spray solution) ifspecifically noted on adjuvant

product labeling. • Oil adjuvants must contain at least 80% high quality,petroleum (mineraQ or modified vegetable seed oil with at

least t5% surfactant emulsifiers. 

### Nonionic Surfactant (NIS) • Apply at 0.25% v/v (1 quart per 100 gallons spray solution) or 0.5% under arid conditions. • Surfactant products must contain at least 60% nonionic surfactant with a hydrophllicfJipophllic balance (HLB)

greater than 12.

### Ammonfum Nftrogen Ferlilizer HELM Nicosulfuron 75 23July2007 Page6of17

• Use 2 quarts/acre ofa**high~quality** urea ammonium nitrate (UAN), such as 28%N or 32%N, or 2 pounds/acre ofa**spray~grade** ammonium sulfate (AMS). Use 4 quarts/acre UANor4 pounds/acre AMS under arid conditions. • Do not use liquid nitrogen fertilizer as the total carrier solution. 

### SpecialAdjuvant Types • Combination adjuvant products may be used at doses that provide the required amount of NIS, COC, MSO and/or

ammonium nitrogen fertilizer. Consult product literature for use rates and restrictions. 

### MIXING INSTRUCTIONS 

### 1. Fill the tank 1/4 to 1/3 full ofwater. 2.While agitating, add the required amount of HELM Nicosulfuron 75. 3.Continue agitation until HELM Nicosulfuron 75 is fully dispersed, at least 5 minutes. 4.0nce HELM Nicosulfuron 75 is fully dispersed, maintain agitation and continue filling tank with water. Thoroughly

mix HELM Nicosulfuron 75 with water before adding any other material. S.As the tank is filling, add the required spray adjuvants (crop oil concentrate, nonionic surfactant, or ammonium

nitrogen fertilizer). 6.lf the mixture is not continuously ag'rtated, settling will occur. If settling occurs, thoroughly re-agitate before using. 7.Apply HELM Nicosulfuron 75 spray mixture within 24 hours of mixing to avoid product degradation. S.lf HELM N'lcosulfuron 75 and a tank mix partner are 

## to be applied in multiple loads, pre-slurry HELM Nicosulfuron 75

in clean water prior to adding to the tank. This will prevent the tank mix partner from interfering with the dissolution of HELM Nicosulfuron 75. 

### SEQUENTIAL APPLICATIONS FOLLOWING REDUCED RATES OF PREEMERGENCE HERBICIDES HELM Nicosulfuron 75 may be used as a sequential application in a planned postemergence weed control program in corn following a reduced rate ofa preemergence herbicide. Apply a reduced rate of a preemergence grass herbic'lde priorto com emergence and then follow with a postemergence application of HELM Nicosulfuron 75. Apply products such as**"Cinch~®,** "Cinch"®ATZ, "Balance" PRO, "Axiom", "Dual" H Magnum, "Surpass", "Outlook" and "Harness" Xtra at as low as 

### 1/4 to 

### 1/2 ofthe full labeled use rate and follow with a sequential postemergence application of HELM Nicosulfuron 75. Refer to the preemergence grass herbicide label for use restrictions, application information, rotational crap guidelines, and cautionary statements prior to applying HELM Nicosulfuron 75.
Do notapply HELM Nicosulfuron 75 to com that exhibits herbicide injUry from previous applications made to the current or preceding crop.

### TANK MIX COMPATIBIUTY TESTING Perform ajartest prior to tank mixing to ensure compatibility of HELM Nicosulfuron 75 and other pesticides. Use a clear glass quartjarwith lid and mix the tank mix ingredients in their relative proportions. Invert thejarcontaining the mixture several times and observe the mixturefor approximately 1/2 hour. Ifthe mixture balls-up, forms flakes, sludges, gels, oily films or layers, or other precipitates, it is notcompatible and the tank mix combination should not be used.


### SEQUENTIAL HELM NICOSULFURON 75 APPLICATIONS Annual grasses may have more than one flush of emerging seedlings. Also, regrowth oftreated annual grasses may occurdue to adverse environmental conditions following appncation. Perennial grasses may regrow from underground stems or roots, depending upon environmental conditions. To control grasses under these conditions, a sequential application of HELM Nicosulfuron 75 may be necessary. The combined dosage ofthe sequential applications cannot exceed 1 1/3 ounces per acre of HELM Nicosulfuron 75. 

### CULTIVATION A timely cultivation may be necessary to control suppressed weeds, orwe.eds that emerge after an application of HELM Nicosulfuron 75. Optimum timing for CUltivation is 7-14 days after HELM Nicosulfuron 75 application or upon seeing the establishment of new weeds. 

### ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS AND BIOLOGiCAL ACTIVITY HELM Nicosulfuron 75 provides best results when applied to young, actively growing weeds. Applications made during warm, moistconditions (70°F or more) and adequate soil moisture both before and after application maximizes performance. The degree and duration ofcontrol depend on spray coverage, weed spectrum, weed size, growing conditions before and aftertreatment, soil moisture, and adjuvant selection. HELM Nicosulfuron 75 is rainfast in 4 hours. Treating weeds that exceed maximum label height orthat are understress may result in incomplete control. Poorweed control orcrop injury may resultfrom applications madeto plants understress from: • abnormally hotorcold weather • environmental conditions such as drought, water-saturated soils, hail damage, orfrost • disease, insect, or nematode injury • prior herbiCide, or carryoverfrom a previous year's herbicide application Severe stressfrom conditions preceding or immediately fonowing application may also result in crop injury or poor weed control. Stress affects all weeds, but especially weeds such as woolly cupgrass, green and yellow foxtail, and wild proso millet. If the com or grass weeds are under stress, delay application until stress passes and both weeds and corn resume active growth. HELM Nicosulfuron 75 rapidly inhibits the growth ofsusceptibleweeds, reducing weed competition within as nttle as 6 hours after application. Susceptible plants are controlled in 7-21 days. 

### SOIL INSECTICIDEINTERACnONINFORMAnON Before using HELM Nicosulfuron 75, ensure that it is compatible with any insecticides previously applied to the Corn crop. HELM Nicosulfuron 75 may interact with certain insecticides previously applied to the crop. Crop response varies withwhorl. This is most likelY to occurwhen a nozzle is positioned directly above the row. • Overlaps or starting, stopping, slowing, and turning while spraying may result in crop injury.
Band Application HELM Nicosulfuron 75 23Ju!y2007 Page 14 of 17

For band applications, use proportionately less spray mixture, and carefully calibrate the band applicator to not exceed the labeled rate. Carefully follow the manufacturer's instructions for nozzle type (flat fans), orientation, distance of nozzles from the crop and weeds, spray volumes, calibration and spray pressure.


### AERIAL APPLICATION In New York and California aerial application is not permitted. Use nozzle types and arrangements that will provide optimum spray distribution and maximum coverage at a minimum of3 GPA. Do notapply during a temperature inversion, when winds are gusty, orwhen conditions favor poor coverage and/or off-target spray movement. 

### SPRAYER PREPARATION/CLEANUP It is important that spray equipment is clean and free ofprevious pesticide deposits before using HELM Nicosulfuron 75 and then properly cleaned outfol/owing application. Clean all application equipment before applying HELM Nicosulfuron 75. Follow the cleanup procedures specified on the label ofthe product previously sprayed. If no cleanup procedure is provided, use the procedure thatfollows. Immediatelyfollowing applications of HELM Nicosulfuron 75, thoroughly clean all mixing and spray equipment to avoid subsequent crop injury.
Note: • When cleaning spray eqUipment before applying HELM N"icosulfuron 75, read and follow label directions for proper rinsate

disposal ofthe product previously sprayed. • Steam cleaning ofaerial spray tanks will help to dislodge any visible pesticide deposits. • When spraying or mixing equipmentwill be used over an extended period to apply multiple loads of HELM Nicosulfuron

75, partially fill the tank with fresh water at the end ofeach day ofspraying, flush the boom and hoses, and al/ow to sit overnight Cleanup Procedure I.Drain the tank and thoroughly hose down the interior surfaces. Flush the tank, hoses, and boom with clean water for

a minimum of5 min. 2. Partially fill the tank with clean water and add one gallon of household ammonia* (containing 3% active) for every

100 gallons ofwater. Finish filling the tank with water, then flush the cleaning solution through the hoses, boom, and nozzles. Add more water to completely fill the tank and allow to agitate/recirculate for at least 15 min. Again, flush the hoses, boom, and nozzles with the cleaning solution, then drain the tank. 3. Repeat Step 2. 4. Remove the nozzles and screens and clean separately in a bucket containing the cleaning agent and water. 5. Thoroughly rinse the tank with clean waterfor a minimum of 5 min, flushing the water through the hoses

and boom. *Equivalentamounts ofan alternate

### strength ammonia solution may be used.


### SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT The interaction of many equipment and weather-related factors determines the potential for spray drift. The applicator is responsible for considering all these factors when making application decisions. 

### AVOIDING SPRAY DRIFT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE APPLICATOR.

### SHIELDED SPRAYERS HELM Nicosulfuron 75 23JulyZ007 Page 16 of 17 

### Shielding the boom or individual nozzles can reduce the effects of wind. However, it is the responsibility of the applicator to verify that the shields are preventing drift and not interfering with uniform deposition ofthe product.
INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT This product may be used as part of an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program that can include biological, cultural, and genetic practices aimed at preventing economic pest damage. IPM principles and practices include field scouting or other detection methods, correct target pest identification, population monitoring, and treating when target pest populations reach locally determined action thresholds. Consult your state cooperative extension service, professional consultants or other qualified authorities to determine appropriate action treatment threshold levels for treating specific pesVcrop systems in your area. RESISTANCE When herbicides that affect the same biological site ofaction are used repeatedly over several years to control the same weed species in the same field,**naturally~occurring** 

### resistant biotypes may survive a correctly applied herbicide treatment, propagate, and become dominant in thatfield. Adequate control of these resistant weed biotypes cannot be expected. Ifweed control is unsatisfactory, it may be necessary to retreat the problem area using a product affecting a different site ofaction. To better manage herbicide resistance through delaying the proliferation and possible dominance of herbicide resistant weed biotypes, it may be necessary to 

### change cultural practices within and between crop seasons such as using a combination oftillage, retreatment, tank-mix partners and/or sequential herbicide applications that have a different site of action. Weed escapes that are allowed to go to seed will promote the spread of resistant b·lotypes. Itis advisable to keep accurate records ofpesticides applied to individual fields to help obtain information on the spread and dispersal of resistant biotypes. Consult your agricultural dealer, consultant, applicator, and/or appropriate state agricultural extension service representative for specific alternative cultural practices or herbicide recommendations available in your area.
